Article link: Pathway for Game to Not Crash

 

For 32 days, my FO3 game kept crashing on me on my PC, and I had a heck of a time trying to figure out what was wrong. I figured my other Bethesda games were working just fine and no problems.

 

So, finally I called the 410 number in the F)3 pamphlet you receive with the game, and he went through my hardware with me. I found out from him, my game card was "incompatible" even after it was listed as one of the cards that was needed to be used.

 

So, today I fiddled with it, and checked with it, and found there was two things wrong.

1) Archive Invalidation was denied.

2) Pathway was the wrong one, but wasn't explained how.

 

So, I uninstalled FO3 and the DLC's, after deactivating my mods, then put them in my Documents, instead of Program Files 86x. Works perfect now. Just a little caution peeps, to let you know, whomever said it will crash in Vista if its in Program Files, was right.

Play On, Dudes and Dudettes!

I liked it, idk if it's an article yet, but it's well writen so far.

 

All you need to do is compile some information on Vista issues which is spread out across Nexus. Which might also somewhat end up being Win7 information too. People are having mad problems with Win7.

 

I use Windows XP so I don't even really care. But from putting heads on posts in tech support an mod troubleshooting it's pretty obvious there is little if no information relating to Vista or Win7 fallout 3 problems.

 

So I know that it would make a good article for XP users that have to answer questions, for Vista an Win7 noob users that want to play fallout for 8 hours straght too.
